Yexesqeel 24
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid sannaddii sagaalaad, bisheedii tobnaad, maalinteedii tobnaad, isagoo leh,
Almost nine [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the tenth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
2 Wiilka Aadamow, maalintan, xataa isla maantadan qudheeda magaceeda qor, waayo, boqorkii Baabuloon isla maantadan qudheeda ayuu Yeruusaalem ku soo dhowaaday.
“You human, write down what day of the month this is. On this [the army of] King of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem.
3 Oo reerka caasiyoobay waxaad kula hadashaa masaal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Digsiga dabka saara, saara oo biyo ku shuba.
Tell those rebellious Israeli people [MTY] [in Babylon] a parable. Say this to them: This is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Pour water into the [cooking] pot and put the pot [the fire].
4 Oo waxaad ku gurtaan cadcadka, xataa cadcadka wanwanaagsan oo dhan, oo ah bowdada iyo garabka, oo waxaad ka buuxisaan lafaha ugu wacan.
Put into the pot some pieces of [from one of your best sheep]: Put in the leg and shoulder, [which are] the best pieces. [Then] fill [the rest of] the pot with the best bones.
5 Waxaad soo wadataan adhiga jarkiisa, oo waxaad hoostiisa ku gurtaan lafaha, oo si wanaagsan u kariya, oo lafihiisana ku dhex kariya.
Pile wood on the fire, and cook the bones and the meat in the boiling water.’
6 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga qabta, taasoo ah digsiga miridhkiisu ku jiro, oo aan miridhkiisu ka bixin! Cadcad u soo bixiya, iyadoo aan saami lagu bixin.
[Do that] because this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Terrible things will happen [Jerusalem]; it is city that is full of murderers [MTY], [a city that is like] [MET] a scorched pot whose black residue inside cannot be removed. Take the pieces [of meat] out of the pot, but do not choose which pieces to take out.
7 Waayo, dhiiggeedii dhexdeeduu yaal. Waxay kor saartay dhagax diiran, oo dhulkana kuma ay daadin si ay ciid ugu daboosho aawadeed.
The blood of the people who were murdered in Jerusalem is still there; they were murdered on the bare rocks, not on the soil, where their blood could be covered.
8 Inay cadho ugu soo kacdo oo ay ka aarsato ayaan dhiiggeedii dhagax diiran dul saaray si uusan u daboolmin.
But I am the one who caused the blood of those who were murdered [MTY] to be smeared on the bare rock, where their blood could not be covered; I did that in order [I could see it and] then be angry and get revenge.’
9 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga qabta! Aniguna tuulmada waan weynayn doonaa.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘Terrible things will happen to that city that is full of murderers [MTY]! [It will be as though] I also will pile high [the wood in the fire].
10 Qoryo ku sii gur, oo dabka sii shid, oo hilibka aad u kari, oo maraqana xawaash ku shub, oo lafuhuna ha gubteen.
[So], heap on the wood and light the fire! Cook the meat well, and mix some spices with it; cook it until the bones are charred.
11 Markaas digsiga oo madhan dhuxusha shidan saar si uu u kululaado, oo ay naxaastiisu u gubato, oo ay wasakhdiisu gudihiisa ugu dhalaasho oo uu miridhkiisuna u baabba'o.
Then set the empty pot on the [of the fire] until the pot becomes [very] hot and the copper glows, with the result that the impurities and the rust will be burned up.
12 Iyadu si aan waxba tarayn ayay isu daalisay, oo miridhkeeda badanna iyada kama uu baxo, oo miridhkeeda dabka kagama baxo.
[It is as though] I tried to get rid of that rust, but I was not able to do it, [not even] by putting that pot in a fire.
13 Wasakhdaada shar baa ku jira, maxaa yeelay, waan ku nadiifiyey laakiinse waad nadiifsanaan weyday, haddaba innaba wasakhdaada kama aad nadiifsami doontid jeeraan cadhadayda kugu dhammaystiro.
The [in the pot represents] your immoral behavior. I tried to cleanse you from your wicked behavior, but you did not allow me to do that. So you will not be [from the guilt of your sin] [I have punished you and] I am no longer angry.
14 Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay. Saasay noqon doontaa, oo taasaan samayn doonaa. Innaba dib ugama aan noqon doono, mana tudhi doono, oo innaba kama aan soo noqon doono. Siday jidadkaagu ahaayeen iyo siday falimahaagu ahaayeen ayay kuu xukumi doonaan ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
I, Yahweh, have said [that I will surely punish you]. [And it is time] for me to do that. I will not change my mind; I will not refrain from punishing you, and I will not pity you. I will judge you [and punish you] as you deserve to be punished for your sinful behavior. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”’”
15 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
[One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
16 Wiilka Aadamow, bal ogow, waxaan darbad qudha kaaga qaadayaa tii ay indhahaagu jecel yihiin, laakiinse ha u barooran, hana u ooyin, oo ilmadaaduna innaba yaanay u daadan.
“You human, I am going to suddenly take from [your wife], whom you love very much. [when she dies], do [show that you are] sad or lament or cry.
17 Taah, laakiin si aamusan u taah, oo baroorasho kuwii dhintay loo baroorto ha u barooran. Duubkaaga madaxa ku duubo, oo kabaha gasho, oo bushimahaagana ha daboolin, oo kibista dadkana innaba ha cunin.
Groan quietly; do not cry [openly] for her. [Keep] your turban wrapped around your head, [instead of being barefoot, keep] your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your [to show that you are sad]. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.”
18 Markaasaan aroortii dadkii la hadlay, makhribkiina naagtaydii way dhimatay, oo aniguna sidii laygu amray ayaan subaxdii yeelay.
[one morning] I talked to the [as usual], and that evening my wife [suddenly] died. The next morning I did what [Yahweh] had told me to do.
19 Oo markaasaa dadkii waxay igu yidhaahdeen, War maad noo sheegtid waxan aad samaynaysid ulajeeddadooda?
Then the people asked me, “What do the things that you are doing signify to us?”
20 Markaasaan ugu jawaabay, Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
So I said to them, “[This is what] Yahweh told me:
21 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, meeshayda quduuska ah ayaan nijaasayn doonaa, taasoo ah faankii xooggiinna iyo waxa ay indhihiinnu jecel yihiin, iyo waxa ay naftiinnu u naxdo; oo wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna aad ka tagteenna seef bay ku le'an doonaan.
‘Tell the Israeli people [MTY] that I am about to destroy the temple, [the building] that you are very proud of, the building that you delight to look at. Your children whom you [in Jerusalem when you were forced to come to Babylon] will be killed [their enemies’] swords.
22 Oo idinkuna sidaan yeelay oo kale ayaad yeeli doontaan. Bushimihiinna ma aad dabooli doontaan, oo kibista dadkana ma aad cuni doontaan.
[When that happens], you will do like I have done: You will not cover the lower part of your faces, or eat the kinds of food that people who are mourning usually eat.
23 Oo duubabkiinnu madaxay idiinku duubnaan doonaan, oo kabihiinnuna cagahay idiinku jiri doonaan. Ma aad barooran doontaan, mana aad ooyi doontaan, laakiinse xumaatooyinkiinna baad la macaluuli doontaan, oo midkiinba kan kaluu ku musannaabi doonaa.
[You will keep] your turbans wrapped around your heads and [keep] your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or cry, but your bodies will become very thin and slowly die because of your sins. And you will groan to each other.
24 Sidaasuu Yexesqeel calaamad idiinku ahaan doonaa, oo wax alla wixii uu sameeyey ayaad idinkuna samayn doontaan. Oo markay waxaasu dhacaan ayaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu ahay Sayidka Rabbiga ah.
Ezekiel will be a warning to you, and you must do what he has done. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh the [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
25 Oo weliba Wiilka Aadamow, maalinta aan iyaga ka qaado xooggooda, iyo farxadda sharaftooda, iyo waxa ay indhahoodu jecel yihiin, iyo waxa uu qalbigoodu raaco, iyo wiilashooda iyo gabdhahoodaba, soo noqon maayo
[Then Yahweh said to me], “You human, [soon] I will destroy their sacred temple, which they rejoice about and which they respect and delight to look at, and [I will get rid of] their sons and daughters also.
26 in kii soo baxsaday uu maalintaas kuu iman doono inuu dhegahaaga wixii dhacay oo dhan kugu maqashiiyo?
On that day, someone will escape [from Jerusalem] and come and tell you what has happened [there].
27 Oo maalintaas qudheeda ayaa afkaagu kii soo baxsaday u furmi doonaa, oo waad hadli doontaa, oo mar dambena ma aad carrab la'aan doontid. Sidaasaad calaamad u noqon doontaa, oo iyaguna waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
When that happens, you will be able to speak again [MTY] [without constraint]. You two will talk together [DOU]. You will be a warning to the people; and they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
